ors of the Tenth and Main streets ho-

The First Ward Wants to Know

EDITORS HERALD The people OF
the First Ward contributed about
SIS, 900 for the Buena Vista street
bridge, and it is thrown in their faces
that they have been greatly benefited
by the erection of the same, which is
true; but where the people of that
ward have been benefited to the ex-
tent OF dime the thousands of peo-
pie of Glendale and the other river
towns, the Verdugo, Eagle Rock VAL
ley, Monte Vista, Crescenta Canada,
La Canada, Pasadena, Garvanzo,
Highland Park and Highland View
have been benefited thousand dol
lars.
Now when the people on the East
side want the levee built from the
head OF the official river bed to Kuhrts
street, it is told them that they have
had their share of the improvements
and should not ask for more, while
the fact remains that they have con-
tributed for the erection of the bridge
that will bring customers into the
Second and Third Wards of the city
from the country ten fold more than
the number from the First Ward. Is
this interested or disinterested?
There is another consideration that
should not be overlooked in this mat
ter. and that is, that the city has a
body of land along the river worth
$40 600 if the levee should be made
but worthless under present con
6itions. There appears then to be q

A QUESTION OF LAW.
Is UTan, n Game of Chance OF
Science?

y - u II ~ u UauI1t VI NMAhCc VI
Science?
The case of All Tow and thirteen
other Cinnamon charged with visiting
a gambling house came up before JUS
tice Austin yesterday afternoon. A
few nights ago Sergeant Jeffries and
posse, after the display of considerable
work, finally located Chinese tan
game in Niger alley. A council of
war was held among the officers, and
finally they dropped in upon the un-
suspecting mongolians in all direc-
tions. They fell in through the roof
and popped up through the crack in
the floor, thus being enabled to "size
up" the game and confiscate the evil
dence with which they hoped to con-
vict the players. A big bag Of buttons
and the remainder Of the outfit was
secured.
Yesterday morning, when the case
was called, S. M. White appeared on
behalf of the Cinnamon and interposed
a demurrer, alleging that the gambling
ordinance under which they were ar
rested is unconstitutional and insutfi-
cient, and that the form of the COM
plant is contrary to the requirements
Of law. 1t was claimed that the Off
GERS were not familiar with the game
of tan, and that consequently they
cannot intelligehtly swear that the
game is one of chance and not a game
OF science. The Court took the matter
under advisement until next Monday.

EDWARD A. HALL.
Brief sketch of a brilliant Yeung
M0m.

Man.
Yesterday morning the death of Ed
ward A. Hall was announced in the
HERALD. Mr.. Hall was born in Wall
lingford, Connecticut, in 1855. His
father was one of California's pioneers,
but Edwards first visit to the State
was in 1872, when he travelled all over
the State before he returned home.
He gave up all of his collegiate course
at Yale and expressed a most emphatic
opinion that he should come to Cali
fornia and make it his permanent
home. He had obtained his early
business education as assistant rep
resentative in New York OF the firm OF
H. w. Newhall & Co., OF San Fran
cisco, commencing at the age of II.
In 1877 he came to California, setting
| in San Francisco as representative
of several eastern factories under the
firm name of A. l. Hall & Son. From
a business with a few agencies he
through his energy enlarged it until it
was one of the leading manufacturing
agencies on the coast. Three years
ago, after a severe attack OF pneumo-
MIA, he found himself compelled to
leave San Francisco and seek the eli
mate of Southern California, which he
thought would be beneficial to his
health. After he had been here a
short time his health improved, and
shortly afterwards he found himself
able to undertake some OF the
largest enterprises in real estate and
public improvements effected in Los
Angeles. He was one of the founders
and promoters of the Los Angeles Inn
provement Company and the Second
Street Cable Railway Company. He
was of untiring energy, and never sat
isfied in idleness. Owing to this
trait he accumulated quite a fortune,
of which he was well deserving for his
hard work. At the time of his death
he was director of the Los Angeles
Improvement Company, of the Second
Street Cable Railway Company, of
the Temple Street Cable Railway Com
pany. and of the California Bank,
which will be located on the corner OF
Fort and Second streets. He was one
of the promoters of that building,
which is one of the finest in this city,
and will be fully occupied on October
1st. His remains will be inferred in
Evergreen Cemetery, and the funeral
will take place at 10 80 this morning
from his residence, No. 430 South
Hill street.

THE POINT OF DISAGREEMENT

Everybody seems to agree that the
proper method fer reducing the surplu,
is to abolish the war taxes" but there
is an insurmountable obstacle to their
abolition in the lack Of agreement as t.
what they are. The free traders ga,
that the war taxes mean the tariff, anC
the protectionists hold that they meas
the, internal reyapue. Tho protection
lists certainly have the b,.st OF the argu
ment The tariff was increased during
the war, it is true, but the tariff wa.
there before the war, and had existed
from the Inauguration Of the government
The feature Of protection was introduced
during Il time Of peace, and protection
was its purpose and not the prosecution
Of war
On the other hand, the present sys-
tenn Of internal taxes was the direct con
sequence of the civil war Of 1861. 1t
was called into being under the pressure
of war necessities, and was designed
solely to assist in carrying on the war
1t waf not an offspring Of peace, like the
tariff 1t was not established for the
purpose Of fostering American industries,
hut 70 help toward the prosecution and
final suppression Of the civil war
Furthermore, the internal revenue
was specifically and exclusively cbarac-
terized as war tax BY the last Ma
tiOnsl Democratic platform.
This is the plain state of the case
Those who advocate the abolition Of the
internal taxes can Justly aver that they
are cndeayOring to wipe out an eXtraor-
binary, burdensomc. and unnecesa '
relic Of the war. The purpose Of the
tariff reformers, on the contrary, is not
so much the oholition of war taxes as
the abolition Of pcoection Througl.
